4-H Re-Enrollment on Hold
Until September 9
4-H Online has been updated and we are working on rolling over everyone’s information into the new system. There will be additional security requirements that may require some to supply a new password to meet these requirements.
We will send an email to those currently enrolled in the system when re-enrollment is officially open, that will include step by step instructions for your convenience. The process will be similar, but the look of the program will be different.

Fun Family Day sponsored by the Fair!
Unfortunately, 4-H clubs cannot participate as clubs, due to 4-H in-person activity restrictions, but families may choose to attend on their own
Anyone interested in being a part of the weekend should contact the club at RobbinsvilleInnovationClub@gmail.com. The club will then provide details for how they can get involved in the Maker Fair.
There will also be opportunities to join the weekend as a spectator – a chance to see all of the innovative projects created by the club members over the past year.
